Really gorgeous. I love the pose, the lighting, the colors, the painterly quality, model and set. If I had to alter anything it would be to get a little more light on her headdress. I found myself straining to see some detail but, on my laptop anyway, all I see is black.

Hi Jase - you achieve incredibly wonderful colors and context in your studio shots. Simply amazing. I looks like a card from the 1920s or so. Beautifully shot and then rendered in post-processing. Just wonderful... My guess is that you are going for the "retro" square crop, which is now all the rage (it's amazing how old thing come-back around??! ;) ) - but, for that, I'm wondering if a slight crop on the right of the image (to the tree trunks) wouldn't work a bit better in the visual balance? If you do that - and want to keep the same aspect ration, I'd cut a bit from the bottom, which would leave the bottom toe off the floor by the same distance as you just cropped..? Anyway....
